Restorative Care

2.1K
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Area of Science:

  • Exercise Science
  • Disability Studies
  • Professional Training

Background:

  • Qualified exercise professionals often lack preparedness to support individuals with disabilities.
  • Community-based exercise programs frequently provide specialized onboarding for new staff, volunteers, and students.
  • There is a need to understand the competency elements within these training programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the core competency elements (knowledge, skills, attitudes) delivered in onboarding trainings for exercise professionals supporting persons with disabilities.
  • To analyze differences in training content based on provider type (staff, volunteers, students).

Main Methods:

  • A competency-based lens was applied to analyze 94 training materials from 9 Canadian community-based exercise programs.
  • Training materials were reviewed to identify knowledge, skills, and attitudes taught.
  • Content was compared across different provider roles.

Main Results:

  • The majority of training content focused on knowledge acquisition, with limited emphasis on skills and attitudes.
  • Staff training predominantly covered disability-specific content.
  • Volunteer and student training emphasized general and program-specific information.

Conclusions:

  • Current training models may inadequately equip exercise professionals with the practical skills and attitudes needed for real-time application.
  • Disability-specific competencies are crucial for enhancing the quality of exercise experiences for persons with disabilities.
  • Findings can inform the development of more effective, competency-based training programs.
